Lava starts building up underneath some surface (solid) materials. It is being pushed up by some underground forces. The upward pressure causes a dome like cap covering the 'liquid' lava. Eventually the lava breaks through and you have a volcanic eruption.

∙ 9y agoA lava dome volcano is also referred to as dome volcano. It forms when lava blocks the vent. The lava cools, then breaks apart, new lava covers the cooled lava (molten rock) which makes a dome shape. The lava involved in these domes is extremely viscous, and so does not readily flow away from the source.

Is a Dome volcano the same as a Lava Dome volcano?
Yes
Which forms inside the crater of a large volcano?
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
What is the length and height of the dome volcano?
its the size my helens lava dome
Why did the Lassen peak volcano erupt?
Mt. Lassen is a lava dome type of volcano. The domes of lava dome volcanoes grows from within, and commonly occur within the craters or on the flanks of large composite volcanoes.
Is a dome volcano the same as a cone volcano. if not - what is a dome volcano?
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
What volcano has a rounded dome?

Why is a lava dome called a lava dome?
A lava domes is a structure that forms when a volcano extrudes very viscous lava that builds into a dome-shaped pile rather than flow downhill.

Is lava dome a type of volcano?
Not exactly. Some volcanoes do consist of simply a lava dome, but most lava domes are found in or on stratovolcanoes.

What is an acid lava volcano?
Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.
